“Talent Motion is, without doubt, the best recruitment company I’ve dealt with in my career to date. They take the time to understand the objectives of the business making the hire, as well as those of the candidate before putting them forward for the role. Professional. Personable. Highly recommended.”

“I have been with Unova for 5 months moved from a a much larger organization. The move did not only change the type of work I do, but also the way I do it, as well as the timescales. Being in a large firm, with big multi million projects to work on, the process of design all the way to Construction can be slow, and takes time to actually see the finished buildings. The work can sometimes tends get repetitive.
Working at Unova, the scale of the projects we usually work on are smaller and swifter, meaning that you end up working in a more dynamic world. This is something that has been very beneficial for me, as I tend to finish one and get to move onto the next. Additionally, I have the opportunity of getting to know our clients from the first week and start interacting and understanding their needs, of being part of the conversation on how we can make their buildings work more efficiently and provide advice on new or upcoming regulations that might affect their CAPEX budget etc. This is something that easily could have taken me a couple of extra years to experience in a larger firm.
Stuart was very helpful from the beginning of the process, he really understood what Unova did, was very clear at explaining their business model, their policies and gave me an insight of all team members. This move is one that has been very beneficial for my career and to my personal life.”
“My working relationship with Talent Motion has been two-fold, initially engaging with them as a candidate and in recent years, I have called upon their services to source exceptional talent for us. I started my career as a maintenance technician before working into the role of a design consultant. I spent 12-years within pure design consultancy without an idea of the wider work and input building services engineers have on buildings/properties beyond the design. I was fortunate to be placed into a world leading real estate company – under Talent Motion – who required internal engineering consultants to not only design services systems, but to provide a full engineering building consultancy service to real estate clients. This was new to me away from pure design but has changed my life for the better as I have the multi skills and strings to my bow to be flexible and adaptable for any requirement now. I became capable of competently offering technical due diligence for property acquisition, provide diagnostic reports for faults/errors and omissions that impact landlords, tenants or other property users, undertake lease reviews and dilapidations assessments, undertake maintenance and condition reports and plant replacement life strategies and more! Within a building consultancy you become the perfect all-rounder. You can specialise in one area of engineering consultancy but have the confidence and knowledge to service your clients in all other service lines and be the complete go-to Consultant. Working in building consultancy away from just pure design offers ultimate flexibility and freedom to be the engineer you didn’t know you wanted to be. Fast forward a few years and I am now the one seeking individuals who are (like I once was) looking to take that step into the Building Consultancy world. Talent Motion have repeatedly stepped up to the mark and sourced the standard of talent, allowing our business to grow and flourish, consistently understanding our needs and always acting with the utmost professionalism throughout the process.”
